While bankruptcy attorneys and music lovers are still mourning the untimely and unfortunate death of pop diva Whitney Houston, details about her funeral service are slowly coming to light. It will be a private affair and attendance is by invitation only. However, the singer’s family has confirmed that the television and the Web will have access to the service.
Political Correctness
Bankruptcy attorneys hope to catch the proceedings live on E! Online and pay their last respects as Houston is laid to rest. It is a shame no one tried to intervene. Bill O’Reilly has been making waves with his tirade on the mainstream media who used Whitney for higher ratings but never did anything to help her out. He blames this on political correctness. But Bill O’Reilly is wrong about marijuana. Plenty of people smoke marijuana without moving upward to more addictive and dangerous drugs.
Whitney Houston’s Funeral Arrangements
The guest list has not been confirmed yet but it is expected that Kevin Costner, Houston’s co-star in her debut movie The Bodyguard; singer and actress Dionne Warwick who is also Houston’s cousin; soul diva Aretha Franklin; Stevie Wonder; and Alicia Keys will attend the service. And so will Rickey Minor, Tyler Perry, and gospel singers CeCe Winans, Donnie McClurkin, and Kim Burrell. According to some sources, the deceased singer’s ex-husband Bobby Brown too has been officially invited, in spite of rumors that some family members who blame him for exposing Houston to drugs and alcohol and bringing about her downfall, had opposed the move.
A Church that is not a Church
Meanwhile, bankruptcy attorneys are worried over certain developments that threaten to cloud Whitney Houston’s funeral service. The Westboro Baptist Church has announced on Twitter that they will picket the service over gay rights and marriage issues. The Church, known for its anti-gay orientation, had previously staged protests at the funeral services of Michael Jackson and Steve Jobs. The attorneys are keeping their fingers crossed that no untoward incident mars Whitney Houston’s funeral service.
